+# RelationshipsDashboard

+A lightweight Character Statistics Dashboard for **OctoWoW** that adds an expandable information panel to the Character Window.

+
+## Smart Class Layout
+
+RelationshipsDashboard automatically hides statistics that are not relevant to your class.
+
+Examples:
+
+* Warriors won't see caster-only statistics.
+* Mages won't see melee weapon information.
+* Druids display both Mana and their current shapeshift resource when appropriate.
+* Shield-only statistics are only shown for classes that can use shields.
+
+This keeps the panel compact and easy to read.
+
+---
+
+## Durability Tracking
+
+Turtle WoW often do not expose durability information unless interacting with a repair NPC.
+
+RelationshipsDashboard includes its own durability tracking system that:
+
+* Tracks durability across sessions
+* Estimates durability loss from deaths and combat
+* Detects repairs automatically
+* Restores accurate values when game data becomes available
+* Ignores battleground durability loss where appropriate
+* Supports spirit healer durability penalties
+
+This allows the durability display to remain useful even when Blizzard API functions are unavailable.
+
+---
+
+## Repair Cost Estimation
+
+The addon includes a dynamic repair cost estimator that:
+
+* Learns repair values over time
+* Automatically calibrates itself using real repair costs
+* Provides reliable repair estimates away from vendors
+* Updates using actual merchant repair information whenever available
+
+---
+
+## Inspect Support
+
+When inspecting another player, the dashboard automatically switches to display:
+
+* GearScore
+* Average Item Level
+* Estimated Equipment statistics
+* Estimated Relevant character attributes
+
+without replacing or modifying Blizzard's Inspect Window.
+
